Quoted from ToucanF16:Fifty Fathoms is one my grail watches.
The advantage of the Seiko mod is that it costs about $320, as opposed to several thousand...
Quoted from Saveleaningtower:Omega planet ocean today. Haven't had this on in a long time.
Love the orange and black on stainless bracelet
Need to set it even though it was on winder.image_(resized).jpeg
Beauty! You need to remember to wear it more often.

By the way, it was only off by about 6 min after easily over a year.

Just got off the phone with Aaron to order the strap. I mentioned you, but couldn't find your name here…. 
Quoted from txstargazer3:I think Seiko and especially Grand Seiko are under appreciated in the US.
My Grand Seiko is one of the nicest watches in my collection and far more accurate than anything else in my collection.

Quoted from pauloz:Wearing this today. Time for a beer.
Great, great watch.
A real sleeper here in the U.S.
Quoted from Mike_J:Great, great watch.

Thank you. I think so. They are really well made.
Quoted from spfxted:Looks great! Is the band a nice weight?
Yes....it feels solid. Crazy package for the price but according to the website he's out of 9015 movements until 2017!
Quoted from spfxted:I'm looking at this right now……thoughts?
I like those Seikos a lot. Its a pretty similar one to the model I have and I love it. Its fairly large but not huge. The build quality is great for the money if you ask me.
Quoted from spfxted:I'm looking at this right now……thoughts?
The iconic Seiko "Black Monster". Some of the best lumi I've ever seen on any watch. Had one for years.....just sold it actually.
Quoted from spfxted:Yeah, it seems pretty thick on there...
Not only thick but it's Seiko's LumiBright (C3 superluminova) the brightest stuff you can get without going radioactive.
Quoted from spfxted:I'm looking at this right now……thoughts?
This looks to be a first generation monster. Good watch. There are some noticeable differences between the generations. First generation differences: seconds aren't hackable, crown is bit harder to operate, second generation has a better movement, first generation not hand windable, face redesigned in the second generation.

Quoted from Tkaye:Just received my final (for now) new watch purchase!

Quoted from Erik:What are the opinions on Squale? I was looking for something blue that wouldn't break the bank. Im also thinking about a Seiko blumo, but the Squale has the lighter blue that I really like
I like it. Squale has been around for a long time and have a very good reputation.
Quoted from spfxted:I need another link! It's a little snug for my liking. Anybody got one??
Did you adjust the clasp? Looks like you have one more notch there.
Quoted from spfxted:Looks like my band is ready!
Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it on the watch. My bands from Aaron are ready too!
jumped from swatch as a kid to tag as a young adult finally making some money to this when i started making real money - cartier roadster chronograph in stainless. it looked cool and my buddy wanted one too. gets limited wrist time since i've taken my collection to another level but it is still my first high end watch. enjoy
ted, i will be heading to your watch guy too pretty soon. he is awesome. thanks for the recommendation. ant
